Marmar,

     May I ask you how much CS you used for the EPM?  I have several horses on 
CS now for EPM but am unsure as to the proper dosage.  Also how long did it 
take before you were confident the EPM was gone?

     Thanks.

     Bob

  Got to disagree with that one.  A group of us successfully treated our horses 
for EPM with CS, orally -- some of us treating for three years or more.  None 
of these horses demonstrated digestive problems as a result.  All of them 
recovered from EPM.  If digestive problems are a concern, simply put the horse 
on a probiotic.  The story about CS affecting septic arthritis in the knee 
joint is amazing.  One that I'll tuck in the corner of my mind for future 
reference.     MA
